I'm a Chinese guy, and my wife is Filipina. When I got to know her family, I was surprised by how welcoming they are. They just kept feeding me and inviting me to family events. Completely different from my experience with my Chinese ex girlfriend's parents. Definitely Filipinos are the warmest Asians.

I'm from San Diego, and in my experience, Filipinos and Vietnamese get along really well.

As an Indian I feel that Filipinos are the nicest ppl in the world and not just in Asia.

As a Filipino who first arrived in the States 20 years ago, I didn't know I was smiling too much. I had to tone my smiling and friendliness. 😉

In Philippines, if there a party or fiesta, you still get invited if your not related or you just passing by. This is the type of hospitality that you cannot experience in any East asian countries.

You will never be homeless or hungry if you have a Filipino friend

im a filipino. there was this korean girl i was hanging out with. everything was going ok until one day when her korean friends saw the 2 of us in a mall, the korean guys went to her and pulled her away from me and we never went out again. on a friendly level, they're okay but having a relationship with a non korean was another matter. but that was 15 yrs ago. im sure a lot has changed and opened up since then.

One of the traits of Filipino Aside being friendly and nice they're adaptable. They have confidence to talk to every one with every body, i mean with everyone, they don't discriminate.

I went to the Philippines 🇵🇭 in March 2024. I met my fiance in Manila Airport. I live in America. My fiance is Filipina from the Philippines 🇵🇭. We went to Jollibee, and the food was great . I plan on going back soon. I am from Brooklyn, New York . I was born to Panamanian parents. 🇵🇦 .

Southeast asians are the friendliest.

I 100% agree with Filipinos being the friendliest. This study is too old though. I'd love to see an updated version.

Filipinos are Southeast Asians with Pacific Islander vibe, with a little hint of Latino, a bit Americanized, with strong influences from East Asia.

Lol it's true we Indians prefer to get into relationships with other Indians. Every fillipino I've met are so lovely. I believe they are the nicest people in the world not just the nicest Asians

“We are going to treat each other like Jesus - but just other Koreans ~ ! “ 😂😂😂😂😂

Growing up, as a black person, most of my friends were Indian, one of my best friends was Chinese, and was really good friends with a Korean brother and sister. I really miss then and wonder if they are doing alright.

Those of other races who vacationed in the Philippines had depression when they returned to their own country because Filipinos are said to be different. It is said that Filipinos are happy even when they are struggling, always happy and with a smile on their lips. They are friendly with other races because they want foreigners to be at home in the Philippines.

RIP to my Cambodian, Hmong, Laos and Thai friends. We’ll get recognized one day.

i've never met a filipino that i did not like. when a person who dislike a filipino he/she has a problem

I'm a Filipino and I approve this message. My first year as an immigrant in the U.S., my circle of friends are from India, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Ecuador and of course fellow Filipinos. Kinda fun and crazy. I never got the chance of meeting Japanese and Koreans but I bet its fun to hang out with them too.

I'm Hispanic and I noticed to find Filipino men and Japanese women in salsa and hip-hop clubs in NYC.

The Indians, Chinese and Filipinos I have met have been so friendly and kind. There were Japanese exchange students at my school one year and wow, they were so friendly. When I opened the door to their classroom, they all came up and said "hello" and were smiling and excited to talk to me. While I did not spend a lot of time with them, I could tell those girls and boys were so bubbly and happy. I don't think this has anything to do with ethnicity/race though but rather personality, values and where you have grown up (so basically environmental factors). Also, those Japanese students, for example, were kids just like me so it was just that universal teenage spirit that they displayed.

Filipino men, and this is only speaking from my own experience, are not afraid to be kind, flirt or talk to women. Ie. I think this woman is cute... I'm gonna talk to her - no hesitation or shyness. Not surprising they marry outside their race the most. Who would have known that confidence, genuine kindness and coming from a friendly culture would help you get dates?!

when u meet a Filipino that moment you interact with them nicely u will spot on his best friend that how friendly they are..

My take - Most friendly: Filipinos and Indians Least friendly: my In-laws

hahahahahha!!! so funny! as a filipina who married an indian, people always comment that we are very friendly. good combo in the congeniality department! your filipino accent is so on point btw, literally laughed so loud everytime you guys speak in pinoy accent!

The Vietnamese impression at the end was facts! My family really left to anywhere because they were afraid they would get arrested. No plan. As long as they got out, it was good.

Filipinos are hecka diverse and can blend in based on how they present themselves. I've been mistaken as east Asian, Indian, and other kinds of SE asian. And ofc, the darker Fils easily vibe with hispanics / blacks.

You guys are pretty accurate in your observations. I'm Filipino American and "being nice" is ingrained in our culture and probably our genetics! Don't forget most Filipinos can also hold a tune. Great singers!

100% Filipinos!

I’m Filipino but I love my Korean friends, first impressions they discriminate, but once you own that trust they are most loyal and respectful people. I love their food and culture. Also my wife is Vietnamese and she is cold blooded, hate being around people lol

Filipinos want to be friends with everyone. I noticed growing up in the Philippines way back, Chinese were very aloof and tended to stay within themselves. Not sure if it’s still that way now.

In my experience I agree! Koreans are definitely the least friendly Asian group. Filipinos in general are the friendliest.

@1:07 is the Jollibee slogan (have a jolly day) better than burger King (have it your way) 👀 🤣

THIS WAS HILARIOUS BROs .... Freaking crackin up like mad crazy

Philippines is not known being a racist country. Very open to every race.

I love how Andrew's filipino accent kind of sounds like Borat

As a Filipino who came to the US for secondary and college schooling, I have to say it was very easy to make friends and get along with most anyone; and in fact, oddly enough, making friends with non-FOB Filipinos was actually more difficult! I was welcomed almost immediately by Mexican-American community almost like I was their long-lost brother; complete with the Mexican mamas @ my jobs constantly flirting with me, then wanting me to meet their daughters and stuff jajaja

Us Vietnamese were just trying to get the hell out of war torn Vietnam!

This is interesting and FILIPINO people are so AMAZING and friendly. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🥰🥰🥰 Their ARTISTRY is Top 🔝 Level. The WAY you can imitate each group is hilarious 🤣. Your personalities are EXEMPLARY. I’m Indigenous Native American and within my Tribes Territory we had a long standing relationship with the Chinese and we exchanged goods and holistic medicine . It’s even in our archives.

I utterly agreed with you. Pilipinos are the most friendly people of all Asians. The second is the Vietnamese.

We Filipinos are the life of the party 🥳 you name it, we can sing karaoke, we can dance battle at least one of us is cousins with jabbawockeez🤷‍♂️, we can drink, cook amazing food, nice cars, when u get sick we become nurses or one of our family members are..etc and its more fun in the Philippines 😁

If there are updated, more recent stats for this, I hope you can make another video about this topic! :D

Would be interesting to see a whole series of inter-asian-american dynamics. Like amongst asian americans, what would be interesting similarities, bonds, differences or cultural dynamics between how Chinese interact with Filipinos, how Japanese interact with Vietnamese, how Koreans interact with Indians etc

Discovered this channel recently. Very interesting to watch and compare asian-american population with asian-brazilian one's (I my self being a 4th generation japanese-brazilian). We have a lot of similarity's.

Due to colonization and occupation of multiple races and nationalities, we (Filipinos) are no longer stranger to them. We are warm and welcoming and often adapts to foreign style and culture, yet we maintain our patriotism and striving for the best of our country for the generations to come.

I am Filipino and my fiancé is Chinese. From my spending time with both sides of our families, I admit that my side of the family are a lot warmer and passionate as oppose to my fiancé's side. When I met his family at first, I thought they they didn't like me, because their reaction to me seemed lukewarm if not standoffish. My fiancé explained that his family - mostly the elderly relatives - prefer to stay in their "Chinese bubble" since that's where they are most comfortable. And, for the most part, that's how Chinese people are in most things. Knowing that, I try not to take it personally. That being said, wherever I am in the US, I find that Cambodians, Indians, Pakistanis, Indonesians and Thai people to be among the friendliest Asians. Even if they cannot speak English well, they'll still try to befriend and converse with you. ☺ Unfortunately, I find Koreans to be the least friendly. They're either very standoffish or angry/aggressive. I honestly do not know why. I try to talk about K-pop or K-dramas with them, but nope. Maybe I'm just not lucky in finding one that's nice to me 😅😂

facts. everyone needs a filipino best friend

First, there are Filipinos all over the world. Pretty much everywhere I’ve been internationally, there’s always a group of Filipinos that live there. A few years ago I went to a Jollibee in Milan, Italy around lunchtime. I was the only non Philippines born in the entire place. That being said, Filipinos have learned over the centuries to blend in wherever they live in the world. The meanest from my personal experience have been the Beijing Chinese and the Hong Kong Chinese. I did find some friendly Hong Kong Chinese, but almost everyone that I met in Beijing was either impolite or flat out rude.

You could go to the Philippines and ask strangers if you could sleep in their homes and they’ll welcome you lol

Love hearing your perspective on different Asian american groups and stereotypes. You two are so well informed on different Asian american cultures, food, and mannerisms. Thanks.

my foreman asks me why i was still smiling hours after he roasted me in front of the whole employees in our morning toolbox meeting..and he did that everyday for the whole 3 months that i worked with him..but when i am about to be transfered he told me that he really liked me and he was just trying get me used with the level of toxicity that i may encounter on the next assignment..but for me.. i never really cared someone shouting at me is not enough to sour my vibe.. my moms morning rant is far worst than that..

Fung Bros content has leveled up over the years…

I've met friendly people from all the Asian groups, I wouldn't want to generalise anyone there are the good and bad.

Guys, good point about Chinese being not extreme either way. My understanding is Chinese teaching has stressed "moderation" in any and everything dated back thousands of years.

So funny when you guys do accents. I ain't even mad!!! Lol😂😂😂😂

I think Japanese are friendlier than Indians tho 😅 Speaking from my own experience, there are so many Indians studying in the Philippines and they’re kinda cloistered and won’t start any conversation. Japanese on the other hand, who come to Ph especially Japanese from Sendai and Tokyo are very good conversation starters and so funny 😅

The lukewarmness of Chinese people is I think a trait that Japanese people also share. And I think it comes from a similar place where they're cautious to say if they love or hate something. And it also just wouldn't be truthful to how they feel. For most things, we just feel pretty close to neutral about. And even if we have an opinion, it's not super strong. I think this is in contrast to South Koreans who I think, from what ive seen, love hard and hate hard.

Filipinos take hospitality seriously, so just come to our party, bring your friends, there's plenty of food!

I grew up with everyone from everywhere, and my friends were my friends. Never thought about stuffing them into a box to be counted, categorized, and castigated. So weird, that.

Everyone is grandma and karaoke rivals in the Philippines 😂

Filipinos and Indians speak English very well, so I guest they are more friendlier compared to to others, however try and do a poll of Asians from other nations that speaks other languages. Perhaps language barrier can be a factor.

This is very interesting 🤔 and enjoyable 😁

Traveled the world over and spent months in the Philippines going back to 1977, Filipinos are the friendliest.

you guys forgot to mention the reason why a lot of filipinos are nurses is because of our caring culture ❤ 😅

4th gen Japanese-American here. I agree with this list 100% based on my 45 years living in the SGV.

Filipino's are the most friendly asians I know. In my life I have mixed with a lot of asian people from different countries

Agreed Filipinos are the friendliest & worked with Koreans for 4 years & they need to open up & be more optimistic about other cultures.

I am a Filipina but I am mistaken to be a Korean, Chinese, American, Burmese, Indian so now I am wondering who am I and my nationality? 😆 I feel like I am the United Colors of Benetton in Asian version because my Asian percentage is high.

I agree that Filipinos are the friendliest and most out going..but I've also experienced kind and funny Chinese people at the beauty supply shop that I frequented and they were always nice to me and would even carry conversations with me every time I went there ...they were really nice honestly.....I've never had the pleasure of meeting any Japanese people...Vietnamese lots of times because of where I get my mani / pedi done...as for Koreans.. personally I think they are a little to hive minded and fearful...they tend to believe alot of what they hear about other groups of people rather than have actually experienced an interaction with those groups of people and they're somewhat to afraid to step outside of their bubbles unless they are Korean American but then that also depends on where they were raised.

I'm in the over 60 Asian group. Filipinos have been westernized because of the American occupation so the assimilation into the culture here in America was easier. The Philippines also being a collection of islands have always traveled outside their own local groups to do business, etc. The young Asians are giving me a lot of hope because they are more open, trusting and accepting.

I’m Filipino-Chinese, the Chinese are lukewarm. You can see it in the way they compliment/priase something/someone.😅 Instead of saying the food is good/delicious, the Chinese say it’s not bad.

I grew up with lots of Filipino friends in the 80's. If you went to Virgil or Belmont back then, you know what I mean. They are the nicest people you wiil meet.

As a Chinese who went to school in Atlanta. I had a good friend who is Korean. Also had a relationship with a Korean girl and had a flirty relationship with a half Korean. All in all, I really had nothing negative about Koreans.

I am a Filipino married to a Chinese guy. I agree that my hubby's comment on stuff is always in the middle. Like for example he would say that the food is ok. That's the best thing he could say. Also, his family is not warm at all. Good thing our daughter got the Filipino warmthness.

Koreans and Chinese are the least friendly. The friendliest are the Filipinos, Malaysians, Indonesians and Vietnamese.

A realtor once told us that when he recommends a Korean lawyer to his Korean buyers, they usually declined and would choose a white lawyer, while Filipinos would always choose a Filipino lawyer. His observation was that Koreans do not like to mix with minorities, including other Koreans.

Me within the first 10 seconds of this video: NOTHING HAS CHANGED

Hello greetings too I'm Japanese and Filipino 😊

Bros do one on which is the most outgoing Asian/Pacific Islander most humorous most fun to be around and work with etc😅😂😄🙌🙏🤝🤙🤙

i get hooked for your topics, then stay for the fun . -a Filipino immigrant😅

I love how they try to do every accent lmao

Filipino Men got too much Rizz 🇵🇭

I have no interaction with Koreans but I’ve seen two YT videos where a Korean woman says Koreans are racist towards other Asians. Most look up only to Western countries. That’s the Korean woman talking (not me).

Interesting topic...can only be determined by individual experience though.

I am Filipino and I lived in the US in three different states for 27 years. In each place my husband and I met and became very good friends with Americans and other nationalities mostly. We went out often, but always in restaurants. My husband and I always took the initiative to invite them quite often in our home for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Then with every group, it became the practice of rotating entertaining in our homes for more personal bonding.

As a filipino who was once married to a korean……Faaaaaacts 😂😂😂

Cambodians & Filipinos are the friendliest.

Yeah, I have had pretty good experiences with Indian and Filipino people as a whole more so than the other groups (mostly Indian people). The other groups seemed to love to hang around white people all the time (this was just at Columbia University and around other areas in NYC). Not that I care at all but it's an observation because I travel around various areas from time to time. I have no idea about other places. Columbia even did a study on stuff, like this regarding Asian women looking for white men and so on (I never cared enough to read the study but ran across it). The statistics seem on point (sadly). I know the study is not just talking about one place However, the funny thing is NYC is diverse but lacks diversity within friendships, etc. I mean look at our neighborhoods and how certain people live in certain areas, which is not totally by design. Good video! Chinese people have probably been in the U.S. longer than everyone on that list considering Chinese people built the railroad in this country and couldn't get back after they did (sad part of history where the people who brought them lied to them). The thing that I find hilarious is that a good number of Koreans are Christians, so you would believe that they would be more accepting, but I find that some of the most religious people tend to be a constant contradiction regardless of race, nationality and ethnicity (some people hide behind religion but don't practice what the good book says). The other thing is people stereotype a lot regarding things they hear from certain groups about other people, etc. India and the Philippines are both pretty diverse with the Siddi's and the Negrito people, etc.

Growing up in the Philippines, the godmother I was closest to was Chinese. Nothing lukewarm about her. Very affectionate and she and her husband always looked for me. Her daughter was a former Miss Chinatown and she (my godmother) was very beautiful. Some Korean American and Korean Canadian ladies, however, have been very nice to me. My son always gravitates toward Filipino mothers because of me. I tend to get along with Japanese. I got along well with a Taiwanese engineer at work (he retired, though, so I don't see him at work anymore) i loved to listen to his stories about his wife and children and his relative who headed a Taiwanese dance company that performed in D.C. The lady who owns the Korean restaurant here in our small town is a sweetheart. A former Mrs. Korea, so beautiful outside and inside. Her husband is Brazilian American, if I am not mistaken. My son works with a number of Chinese models because they wear his fantasy and avant garde hairstyles so well during shows. And let's take celebs. I found Japanese rockers to be really nice and accommodating to fans, regardless of ethnicity and color. On the other hand, I flew to Vancouver for a Korean celeb's fan meeting and sorry, but I found him snooty, not to mention a number of the staff selling the merch were just as snooty. Yet, I went to the Japan Day fest in NYC during Mother's Day weekend and the Japanese were very warm and welcoming. And seeing the star of the "Naruto" stage play was an added bonus.

As a Filipino I agree we get along well with Hispanics since we have similar cultures due to also being ruled by Spain.

i'm korean american and can confirm we are still very insular.

Yup. Cantos are very cautious but things are changing.

as a viet with friends whove been in jail.. the viet impression was hilarious

As someone who grew up and lives in a city with a lot of various types of Asians, chinese should be a LOT higher. Sure there are some pockets of chinese that just stick together but even so they're not totally opposed to the idea of making new friends outside of their friend group. I've had some friends in college that were chinese and they were generally very open. You don't really feel this barrier that they don't want to be your friend. Now Koreans, on the other hand...

as an Asian who have lived in The OC, Houston, NorCal, LA and Las Vegas. I agree, Filipinos are by far the friendliest. Thai and Nepalese are also very nice and approachable. Koreans are def the most stand-offish. Vietnamese are the most competitive and outspoken. Indians are socially very approachable but also can be Karens. Japanese are the most assimilated to the Anglo-American culture. Chinese are either very assimilated or are very rude if they're FOBs.

Up to now . Filipinos are always have a Warm, friendly welcome to some foreigners who visited our country. We don’t think to be famous, rich , we always thinking about family, get along & a Happy person every single day even don’t have enough money. Compared to our Asian neighbors they always think about the money, business and to be famous , fame all the luxuries things in life. Filipinos are always helping each other neighbors giving or asking food next to my neighbor house.

Philippines was colonized by Spain for over 330 years. I believe in around 1570 China came to Manila but only to trade with Spain, and the Dutch and the British tried to take the Philippines from Spain but they did not stay. Then the US went to war with Spain invaded Manila destroying the Spanish fleet in 1898. Thereafter the Germans under Von Bismarck tried to take on the US for the Philippines but backed down. The US stayed until the end of World War 2. I'm old and as a kid in Manila I've seen Americans all the time even in my school, that was in the early 1960s. So the Filipinos are used to being with Europeans and Americans.

Can you guys do and inverted spectrum analysis on this "The Most and Least". LOL

As a Korean American myself, I would like to know what this PLAN is! Let me join in on the PLAN hahaha

Fillipinos are the friendliest to blacks they even have Afro Fillipinos so it makes sense . Even when it comes to interracial relationships many of my friends are half fillipino half black.
